I guess I was finished with U2 after the 2005 tour. It didn't help that getting tickets was becoming next to impossible, with GA tickets being sold out within minutes of the sale going online. And then appearing en masse on resale sites. I dug the New Line on the Horizon album, the 360 tour...

I'm a guitar player, so I'll say there's drums on U2 recordings? ;)

It's both weird and fun to read this old thread that apparently I was the source for this file when I can't even remember having done this, or that I even had it. Memory can be a weird thing. Especially mine.

Well, he obviously fits the band. And I for one would never call him a joke. I've done my fair share of soundengineering and stagehanding at live shows and I know a Rule No. 2 bass player when I see one. Adam is not and seems to aim for being the solid dependable rock bottom of the band. Which...

It all boils down to avoiding taxes. Bono grated on people before, but that was just him being very preachy because he maybe cared too much. I can understand that at least. But the tax avoidance firmly placed him from being obnoxiously preachy into not just the hypocrite camp, but firmly in...

He may not have liked the Claptons much after, but he obviously did like them a lot during Lovetown. And from what I hear on the bootlegs they sounded just fine.

Hmm, Adam is obviously a famous bass player, courtesy of being part of a famous band, if not the most famous one still active. But a legend of bass........

I haven't even heard or seen a single bootleg from the last JT tour. Nor heard the new album.

I think they've done as well as they've could. 99.99% of all successful bands burn themselves out within a decade. Everybody mentions the Beatles, but within a decade they split up, never to reunite again (for obvious reasons), I can't remember the last time the Rolling Stones were still...

Maybe not now, but who knows what happens when AlGrenadine works his magic. He's a guy on the Fractal board who developed fracpad, an Axe editor for on android and apple tablets and phones, and fractool, an app that, among other things, lets you convert presets from different Axe and AX-8...

Which is why on the Axe forum the trend seems to be 50% of the users going 'SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!', 25% going 'nice to have, but what I have works good enough', a few going 'dammit! Still not what I wanted!' and the remainder is kinda pissed off that it came after they recently scored a...

Well, eliminating the gap has been one of the biggest demands and Fractal now says with the III its as close to zero as they can make it. There basically has to be a fade in/fade out or else you'll get a pop.

Any captured IR should be able to be imported into any modeler worth its name, be it Helix, Kemper, Axe II or III. It's not dependent on the modeler itself. The exact effects chain of a preset however is dependent on the modeler itself. Thankfully there's a member on the fractal forum who has...

Well, think about it, the processing power of all computers have increased dramatically since the days of MS-Dos or Win95. Are your computers and applications now running faster then back then? Of course not. Everything is still as slow as it used to be because the demands of a new OS and...

Bad news for the Edge, Fractal is coming out with the Axe FX III! http://www.fractalaudio.com/iii/ More then twice as much DSP! :drool::drool::drool::drool: Ever wanted to own an Axe FX but couldn't afford one? Now will be the time as people will be selling their old ones to afford this new...

That may work for a banker, but not for a self appointed moral crusader.

The worst thing is, he's got a point. The fat xenophobic UKIP supporting fat cunt makes more sense then the average politician and news pundit. Bono is a hypocrite and why is the left not busy addressing income inequality and the many wars that the West is waging all over the world, but obsessed...

Don't know if I said this before, but when I made clicktracks for my old band I made MP3's with the right channel the backing track and the left channel the clicktrack.

Based on my former band's drummer I'd say that shaker is more pleasing on the ears as its less harsh in the upper frequencies. Traditional click may work fine if your recording, but if you're playing 2 to 2,5 hours shows a night, having something less harsh constantly ticking away in your ears...

Well, if Edge can hear the subtle nuances between dozens of different guitars, a gazillion pedals and various amps, then why shouldn't Larry be able to sense millisecond differences in time? :wink: In which case what is Adam's special power?

Asking this question on a u2 fan forum is probably not the smartest place to ask this as we are probably the most biased in favor of Edge. Also its best not to read youtube commentary sections. It's a wretched place of scum and villainy that makes Mos Eisley look like a sunday church by...

Now that you know its a maracas sound, does the exact sound module matter that much? Any program that can create drum tracks can also generate a maracas click track. I used to make click tracks in fruity loops, it's what I had at the time. Our then drummer could generate a click track in...

The odd thing is, sometimes stuff that's made in the EU still costs more in the EU then when on offer in the US. EU consumers are getting screwed somehow. Some US sites warn for this. Ebay sometimes lists import duties as well, so you pay them upfront. And some sites don't. To them foreign...

Basically everything you import from abroad, especially the US, gets slapped with hefty customs duties and taxes. Maybe a small package, not too expensive, will manage to sneak by, but overall anything over $30, and big enough to warrant inspection will get inspected. Cause big size equals big...

Also, the million dollar question: how are you listening to your own music? Headphones? PC speaker set? FRFR studio speakers? Gotta have the last ones. I agree about getting used to impulse response cab sims. They will never sound like playing through your own amp, as sound coming from a...
